1 Chronicles 1:12

10 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.

11 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,

the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.

13 And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,

14 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
